Really? You'll have to tell me your secret as I bathe my Maine Coon as she's greasy. Surprised NFC aren't the same. How fortunate.

We always bath our Maine Coon a couple of days before a show and we now use the shampoo from the ANJU range, although they are a little expensive they are a fantastic product and would reccomend them to any cat owner.......best wishes......Chris

we used to use woolite on the MC, as do alot of other people who show them! our wegies arent greasy but our blue wegies have very wooly coats so not really likely to get greasy.

I agree with other advice.

I would also add that lots of shows offer help for the first timer, if you contact the show manager, they will often be able to find someone to point you in the right direction at you first show.

I would also add that i only 'wash' the white bits on my Norwegians, i have a foam shampoo that i use a few days befor a show all over, then some extra attention to the white.

Okay, then I wasn't kidding at Birmans being one of the most difficult to prepare.... I had no idea you NFC folks didn't bathe. :-o

Great thread. I'm doing my first show on Sunday so picking up as many tips as I can too

I have bathing, claw clipping, ear and eye cleaning to do this week for a show on Saturday - even my shorthairs get bathed pre show as they are high-white so it brings out their coat and makes them shine and my semi longhair needs it to look her best
